Flow Limitations are bad.

Since the APAP can't detect arousal directly, how can the machine accurately identify RERAs?

RE: Should I Increase Minimum Pressure?
The resmed titration adjustment guide also recommends raising the min/static pressure 1cm at a time on page 24, for partial obstructions like Hypopnea, RERAs and snoring

"Increase CPAP ≥1 cm H2O every ≥5 mins for
obstructive apneas, hypopneas, RERAs and at
least 3 min of loud or unambiguous snoring"

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure.

Looking at detailed zoomed view of typical RERAs you will see arrousal/Recovery breathing. Medical standards state that waveform analysis may be used in lieu of full PSG to determine RERAs.
